Levittown Pennsylvania Court Docket Records
Levittown is an unincorporated community in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, spanning portions of Bristol Township and Falls Township along the Delaware River. Because Levittown is not an incorporated municipality, court matters arising there are handled by the relevant township's Magisterial District Courts in Bucks County, with more significant proceedings going to the Bucks County Court of Common Pleas in Doylestown. Court docket records for Levittown cases are available through the Pennsylvania Unified Judicial System portal at no charge. This guide explains how to search those dockets and access the records you need.
Levittown Quick Facts
Levittown Court Docket Search
Court docket records for Levittown cases are searchable through the Pennsylvania Unified Judicial System portal. Since Levittown is located within Bucks County, selecting Bucks County as the filter when searching by party name will return all relevant cases. Bucks County Magisterial District Court dockets carry the "MJ-07" prefix, and Bucks County Court of Common Pleas dockets begin with "CP-07." Entering a full docket number directly is the fastest method when the number is known.
The portal returns all publicly accessible docket information including charges or claim type, party names and attorneys, scheduled hearings, motions, court orders, and final dispositions. Because Levittown addresses are associated with Bristol Township or Falls Township, court filings may reference either township's name. Searching by the party's name rather than the municipality name is typically the most reliable approach.
The UJS Web Portal is free to use and covers both criminal and civil matters in Bucks County without any registration requirement.
Docket sheets accessible through the portal can be printed or saved as PDF files without any cost for future reference.
Note: Sealed and expunged records will not appear in portal search results regardless of the search criteria used.
Levittown Magisterial District Courts
Because Levittown spans Bristol Township and Falls Township, the Magisterial District Courts that serve Levittown residents are the same courts that serve those respective townships within Bucks County's judicial district. These courts handle preliminary arraignments, bail determinations, and preliminary hearings for criminal matters arising in the Levittown area, as well as summary traffic offenses, ordinance violations, and small civil claims.
Bristol Township and Falls Township each have police departments that make arrests and file criminal charges, which then proceed through the relevant district court. When charges involve a felony or serious misdemeanor, the district judge conducts a preliminary hearing and, if probable cause is established, the case is bound over to the Bucks County Court of Common Pleas in Doylestown. The transition from district court to Common Pleas is reflected in both dockets.
Summary offense cases, such as traffic citations and minor criminal matters resolved at the district court level, are fully documented in the UJS portal under the MJ-07 docket prefix. These cases require no further transfer to Common Pleas and represent the complete court record for those proceedings.
